Hi, this is Benny P's brother Alex checking in. My son Max & I have watched a few episodes of Japanese Spiderman. Max is pretty into it. Especially saying Spiderman w/ a Japanese accent. The origin story is pretty weird. As I recall Spiderman's dad was also a spider soldier. The protagonist meets some old mystical guy who tells him about it and then he becomes the new spiderman. Also, the robot is in every episode.

Hi Alex (& Max)! do you have some Japanese Spiderman comics that tell this story or is it all in the episodes? that sounds amazing! Spider Soldiers?! I can also imagine that Max saying "Spiderman" with a Japanese accent is highly adorable.

Hey Joel,

It was all TV episodes on Youtube.

They might still be on Youtube if you dig deep enough. I tried to find it for you but it must be buried under a lot of garbage.

All I could find was this which you've probably come across already.

Max has a spiderman costume and whenever he used to wear it he would identify himself not as Spider-man but as "Japanese Spider-Man".

I heard the 3rd Raimi film was a dud. Maybe it just needed Tobey Maguire to fly around in a giant robot.

I don't know if Ben told you but in the fall there's going to be a collection of Japanese Batman comics from the 60's coming out.
